Voiced by Amazon Polly

This is one of my favorite lessons to teach because it is truly a pivotal point in my students’ math careers. Without a clear understanding of Variables, students will not be able to move forward and succeed in math. In order to teach this lesson on Variables and Expressions, you will need a couple of things.

First, you will either need a copy of the Dr. Seuss book Green Eggs and Ham or a video of it. Second, you will need to read through the lesson created by Catherine DeFrancisco. Third, you will need to give your students a copy of the menu or post it somewhere. Lastly, you will need a PowerPoint to walk your student’s through the lesson.

Below are all of the resources you will need for this lesson!
